P90X - Day 11 - One on One - Yoga Fountain of Youth

Ciao ciao Nomads!

Sorry that I'm posting a bit late, but you know - 9 classes plus a little gold medal celebration ;)  (I know, it's only the Mountain Dew Vertical Challenge, but hey - celebrate everything in life!)  So I followed @the_nit's advice (here's his BeachBody Coach Page) and bought the Tony Horton "One on One - Fountain of Youth - Yoga" dvd and did it for the first time on Monday.  It's fantastic and I like the "one on one" styling.  I also just found out that The New School Recreation Department is offering free yoga classes on Monday's for the rest of the semester, so if I can, I will go in for those!

A couple of images if I may!  Here's the top of the course:

My gold medal!

Thanks for letting me brag a bit - I'm sorry!  ;)

Yours truly,

P90X Day 2 - Plyometrics

In the art of full disclosure (eeeep!  Here goes!)...this is me after this morning's workout (notice how I'm making it as small as possible - it looks much better this way!):

(Please ignore the bedding and ski gear!)  Thankfully, P90X teaches you how to pose to make your body look pretty bada$$, and admittedly I took this after Plyometrics when I'm feeling much more confident.  

I am also lucky that with Parsons I get a workout just carrying my stuff to and from school and sometimes even doing homework, depending on what it is, so my upper-body is in "okay" shape.  But my goal is to truly tone my arms so I look strong and ready to take on the world.  However, it's really my legs and glutes that I'm working on.  Continuing at this rate means I'll finish just before graduation in May.  I'm hoping that by walking myself through the process openly on Gypsy Theories will mean that I'll graduate P90X this time.  (Because I have started it twice before and lasted about two weeks each time.  Blah-blah-blah...)  Let's get me over the hump, nomads!

Happy BeachBody!

Yours truly,

Alex
